Thank you. I can rebuild everything with DEBUG_FLAGS=3D-g. But do I = need to do that in only boot?

But, I'm not sure what "the boot monitor prompt" refers to, where i'm = supposed to enter "ctrace". When the boot crashes, I'm left at the open = prom. Is that where I'm supposed to enter "ctrace"? Apologies if so, I = just haven't known of that OBP command previously. Thank you. I'll try to come up with the debugging output you're = requesting. And more directions would be appreciated. - Chris
